[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it shameful and shocking that one of the nation's most liberal regions, California, has experienced black flight, and is now approaching the least African American diversity of any major metropolitan region or large state.

San Francisco's African American population stands at six percent, Los Angeles's at nine percent, and the State's as a whole at 5.8 percent and dropping.  Why does no one talk about how the ultra-liberal strongholds of California have pushed out their African American population?

Anecdotally, you sometimes go a long time in certain parts of Southern California without seeing an African American.   That is completely unimaginable in other major metro areas.  People say California is the nation's most diverse State, but that is simply not true when it comes to African Americans.[/quote]
